Looking for opinions

I am wanting to add door poppers on my Camaro and wanted to leave outside door handles on it to retain stock look. I just want peoples opinions on this before I do it.

Re: Looking for opinions

I like the idea. I never liked the idea of shaving the handles and relying on the door poppers to work. This way, you can still open them! Go for it!

I would give it a thumbs up... Definitely leave the handles.

Re: Looking for opinions

I am not sure exactly how the door poppers work. But it may take some clever craftsmanship to be able to use the stock handle and have the door popper too

Re: Looking for opinions

Are we talking about an "opener" or just remote unlock? Remote unlock is easy - but as mentioned "openers" would require some work, unless you just left the handles unattached for look, in which case I'd think they'd need welded or something so they didn't flap around and clank.
